I am finishing up this year’s Monday Music with Wavin’ Flag written by K’naan and he was happily going about arranging the song for himself as a tribute to Canada.
Then a tremendous earthquake hit Haiti and the island nation was torn apart.
Legendary Canadian producer Bob Ezrin heard K’naan working on Wavin’ Flag and he suggested that the song could be a catalyst to raise money in Canada and around the world.
Bob called all the artists; most were on tour in Canada and around the world. He asked if they would come home to Toronto, just to sing a small portion of the song — and they did.
The song went around the world, money flowed in to Haiti.
Canadians always there, without too much fanfare.
We should all be very proud.
Enjoy
